Homemade Salsa Recipe

This is the best salsa I've ever tasted! I just had to share it with y'all. :) It's also the perfect gift for a neighbor, teacher, friend, etc. Just put it in a mason jar with a ribbon tied around the top and deliver it with a bag of tortilla chips. :)

I originally got the recipe HERE, but I actually choose to leave out the cilantro and lime. I actually love both of those, but for some reason I never put them in when I make it.

Here's the recipe: (I usually double these amounts)

(1) 14.5 ounce can Rotel

(1) 14.5 ounce can whole tomatoes

4 teaspoons jalapenos (from a can or jar, not fresh)

1/4 cup yellow onion, diced

3/4 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon sugar

In food processor (or blender) place jalapenos and onions. Process for just a few seconds. Then add everything else and process until well blended, but don't puree. Place in covered container and chill. Serve with thin tortilla chips. (we like Tia Rosa's megathin tortilla chips the best)

Here are a few pics from the last time I made it:

I think the thin tortilla chips make all the difference. My friends and I think this tastes just like the salsa from Chili's. :)

Here's a pic of the jalapenos we use, and yes, that's a huge jar! We eat a ton of jalapenos around here. :)

I love chips and salsa! And I've eaten them many times at Chili's so if you say this salsa tastes as good as theirs then I must try it! I'll share this recipe with my hubby because it sounds right up his alley too!

This looks and sounds so tasty ~ we love homemade salsa but I always cheat and 'buy' the deli salsa ~ now I no longer have an excuse ~ this looks too good not to try. Thanks for sharing, Lisa! hugs, mb

I love hearing from all of you! I try to respond to all comments and questions via email as quickly as possible. If you are a no-reply comment blogger (no email address) I will respond in the comments section, so be sure to check back for a response. :)
